Has anyone hd luck with Skinner Sights on your sidelock muzzleloader? Mine is an Investarms and i'm wondering if one of the Renegade dovetail sights might work for it. Thanks!

Skinner sights on a muzzleloader

I had a couple of different skinner sights. One was mounted on the receiver and worked very well. The other was mounted in the dove tail and I didn’t care for it. To me, the closer you can get it to your eye, the better it works.
I have put skinner sights on several of my side lock muzzleloaders due to failing eyesight. On the Renegades, I mounted the "Low Pro" sight in the set screw hole in the breech plug that was for mounting a scope. It only has adjustments for elevation but has worked well for me. As stated, the closer to your eye you can mount the peep, the better. Peep sights mounted in the barrel dovetails tend to be too far away for quick target acquisition whereas up close peeps are hardly noticeable because the eye just naturally looks thru the peep hole and centers the front sight without any concious effort
I suggest you communicate directly with Skinner sights. I have a couple of their sights on a couple of my "unmentionables". My experience with their customer service is they go out of their way to try to accomodate to your needs with one of their products. If you give them the specs on your dovetail size and required aperture height they may be more able to recommend the specific model of sight you need for your firearm.

Investarms uses metric dovetail slots while the T/C has 3/8"
All the TCs I have use two screws for their rear sights, no dovetails involved, though all their front sights as far as I know use a dovetail.
